1386434 - /new variation for "unsupported browser" referrals

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Fabio Rios [:frios]]

We get a lot of traffic from Youtube and Facebook's "unsupported browser" notifications which links to Firefox. Unfortunately these visitors have lower than normal download rates. 

We'd like to build out a page dedicated to this traffic and run experiments to this page. 

Can you help us:

- create a copy of this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?xv=compatible

- place page on: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?xv=supported-browser

- change page headlines to Open Sans font

- include Optimizely tags

Can we get a list of which browsers are being referred here? For these rapid download pages we currently only serve first-class CSS to IE9 and above. If this request is to provide first-class CSS very old browsers as well, then this ads scope for time to ship.

Hmmm... good to know. Doesn't seem like that's the issue, but we do see a difference between download rates across browsers by versions. We'll open up a separate bug to investigate.

Low download rate:

IE 11.0
Edge 14.14
Safari 10.1.1
Chrome 59.0

Better download rate

IE 8.0 and 9.0
Chrome 43.0
IE 10.0
Edge 12
